Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively anticipate fifth child

Ryan Reynolds has shared his hopes for a fifth kid with his wife Blake Lively.

In an interview with E! News which also starred Hugh Jackman, the IF star expressed his joy and contentment with his family life and joked about the prospect of having a fifth child.

While conversing in an interview, Ryan quipped, "The more the merrier. As many as possible. As many little heartbeats as possible, just running around, wrecking stuff in the house."

He also shared his enthusiasm over expanding the family, "I adore it. Let's enjoy some more!"

In an interview, the Deadpool and Wolverine actors talked about the relationship between Ryan's kids and Hugh Jackman.

"My kids prefer everything Hugh to me," Ryan joked, with Hugh adding, "Mainly just as a parent."

During his interview, Ryan also accidentally spilt the name of his fourth kid.

“I want to start by saying thank you to my wife Blake, who is here. I want to thank my kids James, Inez, Betty, Olin, who are here,' he said on the stage at the premiere on Monday night,” according to Variety.

Ryan and Blake have welcomed four children: James, 9, Inez, 7, Betty, 4, and their youngest, who was born earlier this year after marrying in 2012.

Despite their busy work schedules, the couple remains dedicated to growing their family.
